The new stock OF fall and winter dress
fabrics imported by William II. Frear Of
the Troy Bazaar is Of such an extensive
variety that visitor is sure to wonder
how il is possible TO sell 10 one season
such an enormous quantity Of goods.
There is one thing certain, and that is that
Frear gives his lady patrons plenty OF
scope TO exercise their individual tastes in
selecting their dresses. Never was such
q line OF English, French and German
dress iancies shown as that now on exhibit
ton at the Troy Bazaar. With regard to
novelties. we do not imagine that any OF
the largest New York stores can have as
great variety. The London suitings and
Partisan cassimers in snbdued checks and
stripes that are toned SO perfectly as to
present the appearance OF one solid color
are sure to please, and judging from
present sales they will be much sought
after. A lady cannot spend an hour more
probably than TO go TO the Troy Bazaar
and have one OF Mr. Fresr's competent
and polite salesmen show her the new fab
RIGS and explain the latest fashions. The
goods will be shown you freely without
any referesce 10 sales. The drive for the
coming week is sixty pieces OF double fold
silk and wool dollar suitings 10 the forty
four.iuch width and newest styles at forty
five cents yard. This is worthy OF your
personal attention. William II. Frear,
Troy Cash Bazaar.

mittec consisting Of Henry F. Donovan, Of
the Chicago postoffice; John A. Mason, Of

3. Post, Of the New York post-ofice, ap-
pointed by President Cleveland last week

local civil service officers from the leading
cities, to suggest notifications in their
rivil service rules, finished its work in New
York yesterday. It was decided not to
recommend any change in the form Of ap-
plicatlon by candidates, but to recommend
that hereafter all examination papers be
marked up in Washington; that the mark
ing be done by board Of fifteen members
made up as follows: Seven chosen from
the departments Of the Government in
Washington, one each from the custom
houses and post-offices of New York
and Boston, one from the Phila-
delphia custom house. and one
each from the custom houses of
Baltimore. st. Louis and Chicago The OBJ
ject in view in having all examination
papers marked by the central board is to
do away with all opportunity for suspicion
of unfairness.

NEW YORK, June 0.-Yesterday, the
thirty-fourth and last day of the Sharp

defendant shuffled into court at one door as.
Judge Barrett came in at another. He ap-
peared much more feeble than usual, walk
ing with great difficulty to his place. Mr.
Stickney commenced TO sum up. He said
that he would not attempt to deliver an
eloquent address, but to make clear, SEN
sible argument that would appeal to reason
ing men. The jury was asked to send.
Sharp to prison and to impose practically a.
sentence Of death upon him, because some
body had corrupted the board Of aldermen
Colonel Fellows then made an appeal to,
the jury on behalf Of the prosecution, after
which Judge Barrett proceeded to deliver
his charge to the jury.
The jury then retired, and after an alb
sence Of thirteen minutes, returned into.
court with Q verdict Of guilty, with rec

Settler Pursued by Railroad CorpoRa.
lions Until He Seeks Relief In Suicide.
WARRINGTON, June 31-A deplorable in
stance OF the result Of land grant rallroao
persecution Of settlers has been brought.
TO light in the case Of E. I. Logwood, a,
settler on land withdrawn for the Atlantic
& Pacific road In California Logwood's
homestead entry was allowed by Commis-
sioner Sparks, the land having been CT
enpted from the railroad grant by prior
settlement claim The company did not,
oppose the settlers proof. and under the.
rules Of the department it could not there
after antagonize his claim. But the attor-
ncys for the company fled an appeal to-
tho Secretary, submitted arguments and
notified the settler of their &C..
ton, although they knew that an
appeal did not lie there. Commissioners
Sparks rejected the company's appeal and
ordered patent to issue to the settler. The.
attorney for the Southern Pacific Railway
Company then appeared with an appeal
and printed argument which he sent to the.
settler on the ground that the land was also
within the indemnity limits OF the Southern
Pacific road. This appeal was rejected by
the Commissioner for the reasons that the
land being within the granted limits of the
Atlantic & Pacific could not be claimed by
the Southern Pacific. ruling well known.
to the latter's company, and rs the case
before the office was one between,
the settler and the Atlantic & Pa
cific, the Southern Pacific could
not be party and had no standing as an
appellant. These proceedings and the dila-
tory motions Of the railroad attorneys con-.
sumed much time. The case was, however,
finally cleared OF all encumbrances and
patent was issued to the settler and do
livered to his attorney in Washington and
by him he forwarded it to California. This
gentleman has just received o letter from
the administrator Of Logwood's estate, who
says that upon the report of the brief OF
the attorney for the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad Company Logwood be-
came Respondent and perhaps in
sane, at all events he wound up by
committing suicide, saying that he might
have show with one railroad, but could.
not possibly beat two. This case is re-
garded at the department as emphasizing
the necessity for the contemplated action,
Of the department under the order Of the,
President in the Guildford Miller case, to.
remove the grasp Of railroad companies.
from public lands within railroad indemnity
limits under indemnity Withdrawals which,.
As stated by Commissioner Sparks, In his
annual report to Congress, are used to COM
pei settlers to purchase railway waivers or
accomplishments when the companies have.
no right to the land.
